She's a frequent customer and she seldom eats pies. She sometimes freezes them. It's packed with so many berries and has a pure berry taste. It's sweet but still maintains the tartness/acidity of the berries so it helps your ability to eat more of it. My husband finished almost an entire pie in one day. The bad: My aunt said the apple pie is too sweet and therefore prefers the more tart/sour berry pie. I wish I tried the pie with ice cream because that would have been a nice compliment.

We had a pleasant time walking around and checking out the ducks and turtles in the lovely pond near the playground. Then we explored the area and purchased some cold beverages, chili lemon mango dried fruit, hot crispy beef jerky, and chocolates (reduced-sugar dark chocolate almonds and mint chocolate almonds). The lower sugar content in the dark chocolate almonds was definitely noticeable, but they were still good. And the mint candies were unique and enjoyable. The different buildings offer some of the same items. For instance, chocolates can be found in the main store, in the wine and deli shop, and in Casa de Sweets which serves ice cream and coffee delights too. And both the main store and restaurant have pies for sale. I appreciate the variety of offerings on site, as well as the scenic atmosphere for doing some shopping, eating, and spending quality time with loved ones.

The roadside appeal was fantastic and definitely caught our attention! We decided to grab some lunch and, of course, couldn't leave without checking out the gift shop for a bottle of wine. We were seated pretty quickly and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but unfortunately, the service was a bit underwhelming. Our waitress never really checked back with us, and we eventually had to flag someone down just to get a refill. BUT... the outside of this place is AMAZING! There is so much to see and do! A beautiful pond, water wheel, train, carousel and plenty of fun things to explore. It really makes for a great little stop while traveling. The gift shop was fun to wander through too, with wine, nuts, dried fruits and all kinds of cute little knick-knacks. We'll definitely stop at Casa de Fruta again when we're passing through--but next time, we'll probably skip the restaurant and stick to exploring, shopping and enjoying the scenery! Another fun little stop added to our California adventures!

The owner was very rude I have been going to Sunnyside Produce for close to 30 years! I bought a 5lb. bag of potatoes. They were not good, baked for an hour, then another hour. It took atleast another 1/2 hour (21/2 hrs.total) and even then they were hard and not really done!! I called and spoke to, I believe her name was Carla, and she told me that Joe (the owner) was the person to talk to. Joe came on the phone and told me he was having trouble hearing me. So I called back and Joe answered, still saying he was having trouble hearing me, though I was on a lan line? I told him the problem and he asked, "What do you want me to do"? He then added "I am 74 yrs. old and I have never heard of such a thing!" I told him, I'm 77yrs. old and never had this happen to me either! I will donate the rest of the bag to charity and will not be going back to Sunnyside! Joe was very rude!! read more

Pretty convenient! Honestly, almost everything in the town of Boulder Creek is all in that one clump. You could totally grab a drink at Wild Roots or Johnnie's and sip away while checking out antiques at Boulder Creek Antiques nearby. Wild Roots does seem to be a chain as I noticed another one in neighboring Felton.

Santa Cruz Local Foods

I guess I'm going to be reviewing all of my favorites first…read more... How do I love thee Santa Cruz Local Foods, let me count the ways... first off I love the CSA model but am allergic to too many common foods to be able to be in one without either inconveniencing them or sacrificing a lot of the items in my basket. This is completely flexible and lets me decide from week to week exactly what I want. They will even deliver to my door by bicycle if I want, though since they've added a delivery location within walking distance I no longer use that. I used it before they added that location, though, and thought it was great. If you do a pickup, either bring your own bags or remember to bring back their sturdy waxed boxes next week so they can reuse them. They'll also take back egg cartons and milk bottles, etc. (Mark anything with a deposit on it so you get credited.) Prices are often a little above going to the farmers market, which seems perfectly reasonable to me because of the convenience. We go to the farmers market too; I just love being able to order heavy staple items like potatoes, Claravale milk, brown rice, onions, and winter squash through here. (Hopefully not all at once; I AM walking with it, though I've had a few occasions where I waddled home with several shopping bags full, milk bottles clinking, and a half flat of something.) The selection is a little more limited than most of the local farmers markets but it's no-brainer local (they clearly mark anything that's not local), and they will leave something off your order (and not charge you for it) if it's not up to their standards, which I really appreciate. It's also rare for them to leave something off an order and always for good reasons like bad weather that made a crop unexpectedly not work out. They generally have extra things that you can buy a la carte at their Mission pickup, too, which is very handy for picking up an extra bunch of greens or pound of potatoes or something. Oh, and bulk local olive oil? Yes, please! Also I love their orange-yolked eggs, and just wait until strawberry season... I often get strawberries from all of their farmers and have a strawberry-off and it's hard to choose which I like best. Last year they had wonderful obscure varieties of citrus like rangpur limes; I'm very excitedly waiting for this year's selection. They usually have some special somethings that I can't find at the local stores or farmers market. The avocados I get through them are always wonderful no matter which farmer I pick, too. They also usually carry ice cream and sorbet from places like Mission Hill Creamery and Scream Sorbet (I am addicted to the nut sorbets, personally.) The raw almond milk is also great; I get it every now and then though I also drink the super-delicious Claravale because it is delicious in its own right. If they don't include the ingredients on the website they'll find them for me when I ask. Because of celiac disease and multiple food allergies, I have to be super careful with what I eat so this is very helpful. Also, the people who run it are SUPER friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their food.
